Befora u» spread the reposing, pow­ erful, «m shimmering Pacific. Acroeu the bay, clew ft* an etching, lay Pana­ ma, backed by AUcoa hill, In regular cadence the waves swept la on the sands. Such was the scene described by Mr. Harry A, Franck In “Stone Po­ liceman 88" when he and three com­ rades went ono day for a swim in tho ocean.*! ■■■■■■ • We dived In, keeping an eye opt for the sharks, although we knew they never came so far in and ■probably would, not bite if they did, The sun biased down white hot frofn a cloud- lees sky. The lieutenant and Sergeant jack had not beeir able to come, but we arranged the races and Jumps In* the sand, for all' that, and after our swimwent into themwith a will and— A raindrop fell, then a few more, then many more, before wo had fl«- Isbed the hundred yard aash lfc was undeniably raining. Etaif a minute later “bucketfuls” would' have been n Weak simile. The blanket of water blotted out Panama.and Ancon ’hill across the hay, blotted out the distant bathers,, theneven those close hi hand. Woremainedunderwafer for a time— to keep dry,. But the rdinwhipped our faces as With thousands of stinging lashes. We crawled out and dashed . blindly up the hank toward1,the saw-' mill, the rain boating on our all but barp sklnh, It felt as It might feel to stand'.In- Mlraflores lochs and let the sand pour down upon us from.,sixty feet above, When at last we stumbled under cover andup the stairs to where our clothing hung it wasrajs if a weight o f many'tons had been lifted'from our shoulders, ' . ThO sawmill was without side trails ahd consisted only2of a' sheet iron roof and floors. The storm pounded on tflo roof with a r.oar tha't made the sign language necessary. I t was ag. l f we were surrounded on all sides by solid, walls of water and forever shut off from the outer world—if, indeed, that had survived. ’ Sheets Of water slashedInfarther and f farther across the* floor, took to betMuut u4Um> sad tmdkt hfiw bwcluw-ifce mtllt*at #to*mhunted us out and wetted us btt by hit “The admiral” and l climbed np and ttteked owraeivas *jray on the forty five degree I beams up uudar the roaring roof, The *n*ry water gathered together la col­ umns andswept In and m to soak tw. At the end Of an hour the downpour had increased some hundred per emit. That: was th* day when UtOe harmless stream* .tore themselves apart into groat gorge* and left their pathetic lit­ tle bridges alone and deserted out in the middle of the gulf. That was the famous May 12,1912, when Ancon re­ corded the greatest rainfall in her hbw tory—7.23 Inches, virtually ah, within three hours. Three of ua were ready to surrender end swim home through It, But there was “the admiral” to 'consider. Ho was dressedclear to his acarfpln, aud Panama tailors tear horrible holes in a policeman's salary. So we waited and dodged and squirmed Into smaller holes for anotherhour and grew steadi­ ly wetter, . ' At, length dusk began to fall, but in­ stead of dying with the day the fury of the storm increased,- It was then that “the admiral” capitulated, seeing fate plainly in league with his tailor. Wigwagging Ms decision to us, be led the way down the stairs anddived into the world awash. Wet? We had not taken the third step before we were streaming like Are hose. There was nearly an hour of it,-splashing kn.ee deep through What had been little, dry, sandy hol­ lows; steering by guess, for the eye could make out nothing fifty yards ahead, even before the cheese thick darkness fell; bowed like nonagena­ rians under the burden of wafer/stag­ gering buck and forth as the storm caught us crosswise or the earth gave way under us. -“The admiral's” patent leather slio<»w-bUt why go-into pain­ ful details?. ‘ The wall of water was .as thick us ever, when-we fought our bowed and weary way up over the railway bridge.
